Do not be misled

In the 70's the Catholic Church used to encourage Sunday weddings because Sunday is a holiday. No working hours are lost and more guests could participate in the ceremony. However, the church now stopped allowing that practice, may be because there are less priests around and it is unfair to ask one priest say four regular Sunday Masses and a wedding too. Moreover, children would miss their Sunday religious classes if they attend marriages.

Whatever it may be my suggestion is: marriages are like funerals and they point to beginnings of unique kinds of lives-one is in this mortal world and other is in the eternal world. Man has little control over them at least in the latter. So it would be rather better for clergies not to impose rules on man’s fate according to the convenience of them. Better service would attract more faithful. Remember there is Satan, I mean disbeliever, everywhere around the church to corrupt the innocent.
The Bible says, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’ (1 Corinthians 15:33).
